**The problem that this feature will solve:**

1. Please disable the “_Apple Pencil not connected_” banner. Currently using a 3rd party pencil and the banner reappears every time the pencil is lifted from the screen. I and many others don’t need the features of the $130 Apple Pencil Pro so would be nice if Shapr3d UI supported them.
2. Please remove or add a toggle to display the virtual Apple Pencil that appears when using the pencil.

Both of these “features” convolute the canvas too much and make it virtually unusable at times with both the pencil and the banner practically flashing.

_Consider adding screenshots and as many details as possible, to help the Shapr3D team and the community understand why you need this feature. Describing your workflow helps us building the right feature._

**Brief description of the outcomes that you expect from this feature:**

1. Disable the Apple Pencil not connected banner.
2. Make a toggle to remove the Pencil cursor altogether. Consider an option to replace it with a crosshair or something less obtrusive.

**What can’t you achieve without this feature?**

A clean UI/canvas to maximize the drawing space. Very distracting having the pencil animation and the banner flash every time he pencil is lifted.

_Is this a workflow blocker for you? Is this why you can’t use Shapr3D for work? Is this slowing you down?_

Yes. Whenever the Apple Pencil not connected banner pops up, it exits out of the current dialog menu back to the canvas. VERY unusable.

Yes, it slows down the workflow as the banner/pencil block aspects of the design such as measurements and angles etc.
